Top Trends Life Sciences Report 2026

The second edition of the DZP Top Trends Life Sciences conference brought together nearly 200 participants, including representatives of pharmaceutical companies, public administration, and industry organizations. The event provided an opportunity to exchange experiences and perspectives among businesses, regulators, and healthcare market experts.

Many of the discussions held during the conference led to a shared conclusion - regulations in the pharmaceutical sector are increasingly intertwined with the broader debate on the competitiveness of the European economy, health security, and the conditions for the development of innovation. In a dynamically changing legal environment, it is becoming crucial to create space for dialogue between market participants and public administration.

The conference program included keynote speeches by special guests and industry experts, as well as a panel discussion dedicated to the future directions of pharmaceutical law. Topics discussed during the event included:

• the competitiveness of the European Union pharmaceutical market in a global context,
• current legislative changes affecting the system for registering medicinal products,
• the development of the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and challenges related to personal data protection,
• future regulatory directions in the pharmaceutical sector.
